Don't have a lot of imagination on the 'best driving roads' do they. The Stelvio looks awesome and is the only road they went on I haven't (yet). The St. Benardino and it's mate the Pic. St. Bernadino are pretty good, but not like the Fukar pass f'instance..... ho hum, not done em in a super car though! Each to thier own

Why did they try to find the worlds best roads, only to cut all the corners? Shuda stayed on the motorways lol

The Lambo did look good and gave me a headache.

The mrs bought me a lambo driving experience for my birthday last week.

They give you an option to drive either the Gallardo or the Diablo. Now the Diablo has always been my favourite car but after seeing the Gallardo in action last night I'm tempted to go for it.

It will probably go down to the flip of a coin lol.

I prefered the Porsche, but only if it was in that damn awful green colour.

If you have to ask what the MPG is you can't afford to run it !!!

A friends RS4 can get into single figures if you drive it properly :)

Stelvio pass ( whatever it's called) looked brilliant! But, what has happened to Hamster? Dressed up like a poodle, thought it was a joke, but I fear not...I think he might be starting to take himself seriously.....which is probably a mistake. :smt090

The road looked good on that pass, but if you watch closely when they have the camera on the front of car it looks in a shocking state. My eyes could have been mistaken but I'm sure in the tight turns it looked like the tarmac was starting to crumble to reveal cobble stones underneath.

Not fun on a bike.

Be quite interesting to compare the number of accidents on the Stelvio pass between this year and next though!!
